10Web Booster optimizes your website's frontend with features like compression, lazy loading, and critical CSS. Since websites vary in plugins and tools, activation may sometimes affect performance. To prevent this on your live site, we offer Test mode.
What is the Test mode
The Test mode creates an isolated environment for testing your website with 10Web Booster without affecting your live site. When the Test mode is enabled, your live website will return to its original state, deactivating any optimization done by the booster and reversing any issues caused by 10Web Booster. 10Web Booster will become inactive on your live website while remaining active for testing and troubleshooting.
How to enable and use the Test mode
To enable the test mode:
- Log in to your 10Web account
- Click on the website where you want to enable the test mode
- To the left of the dashboard under Website Booster click on Settings
- In the Test mode section, click the toggle
- Click on Enable to activate
Important:
Page cache will not work while the Test mode is activated. Hence, to get a true reading of your webpage score, please run a speed test while test mode is disabled.
After activating Test mode, you can test the different modes of optimization to see what works best for your website.
To view 10Web Booster optimized version of your webpage with your selected mode, you will need to add the following component after your website’s page URLs.
?twbooster=1
For example, if your homepage URL is yourdomian.com, then you will enter: yourdomain.com?twbooster=1 in order to see the optimized version of your homepage.
Important:
For the most accurate results when viewing the optimized version of your site, please view in incognito mode.
If none of the optimization modes work, you can customize your website optimization settings from 10Web Booster Advanced Settings.
To apply the changes made in Test mode to your live website:
- Go to Settings
- In the Test mode section, click the toggle to deactivate it or
- Click on the Test mode quick access toggle on the Main page
Important:
Deactivating the Test mode will automatically activate 10Web Booster on your live site and apply all changes to optimization settings you have made while in Test mode.
